2.0 x 0.5 x 1.5 cm (largest). A fine two-piece set of two hematite crystals from the Wessels Mine. Both crystals have splendent lustre and are bullet or conical-shaped. The larger crystal is doubly terminated and is nicely accented by blebs of starkly contrasting quartz. The little crystal is amazing. The large crystal is doubly terminated and the smaller "bullets" really add character. This piece also has accenting andradite microcrytals.
